Listening to Reason in Plato and Aristotle
At the beginning of Plato’s Republic (327c), Socrates and Glaucon are waylaid on their way home by Polemarchus and friends. “Do you see how many we are?” says Polemarchus. “Of course, I do” responds Socrates. “Well then, you must either be stronger than we are, or you must stay here,” says Polemarchus. “Is there not an alternative, namely that we may persuade you to let us go?” says Socrates. “Could you persuade men who do not listen?” asks Polem…
Aristotle on Self-Knowledge
This chapter argues that Aristotelian virtue of character involves knowledge of one’s own abilities and qualities, forms of self-knowledge that are implicit in Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean and in his account of practical reasoning. Support is found in the description of truthful people in EN IV 7, who, in contrast to boasters, give true, unexaggerated reports of their own qualities. It is also found in Aristotle’s discussion of the magnanimou…
Aristotle and the Virtues
Aristotle and the Virtues is an interpretation of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as an unabashed ethic of virtue. Curzer gives pride of place to the Aristotelian virtues of character, highlights the relationship between justice and friendship, and provides an account of moral development, giving a taxonomy of different types of people. He also argues for a novel view of contemplation as reflecting and concentrating on matters of everyday life. Hi…

The Virtue of Aristotle's Ethics
While Aristotle's account of the happy life continues to receive attention, many of his claims about virtue of character seem so puzzling that modern philosophers have often discarded them, or have reworked them to fit more familiar theories that do not make virtue of character central. In this book, Paula Gottlieb takes a fresh look at Aristotle's claims, particularly the much-maligned doctrine of the mean. She shows how they form a thought-prov…

Aristotle's 'Nameless' Virtues
Les vertus innommables d'Aristote sont-elles des vertus? La reponse a cette question suscite des controverses meme dans le corpus aristotelicien. Une divergence flagrante existe entre l'« Ethique a Nicomaque » et l'« Ethique a Eudeme »: quatre des cinq vertus innommables de la premiere ethique n'apparaissent pas dans la deuxieme
Aristotle on Dividing the Soul and Uniting the Virtues
L'A. defend la coherence de la pensee d'Aristote lorsque celui-ci affirme, comme le faisait Socrate, que l'on ne peut avoir une vertu sans les avoir toutes, mais il divise l'âme en parties (rationnelle et irrationnelle) auxquelles correspondent une vertu particuliere. L'A. montre que cette division permet de fonder l'ethique veritable de l'homme qui n'agit pas en suivant une droite regle transcendante a lui, mais est capable de determiner lui-mem…
Aristotle Versus Protagoras on Relatives and the Objects of Perception
Protagoras is famous for the claim that man is the measure of all things. As explained in Plato’s Theaetetus and Aristotle’s Metaphysics Ꭲ, Protagoras’ doctrine of the measure is supported by a striking theory of perception: Each individual perceiver is the measure of what is perceived, and the relationship between perception and what is perceived is a symmetrical one, with neither term of the relation taking precedence over the other. Thus perce…

The Complexity of Socratic Irony
Professor Vlastos argues that Socratic irony was responsible for a momentous change in the way in which irony was understood in ancient times. Before Socrates, he argues, irony is connected with lying and deceit, but after Socrates it is associated with wit and urbanity. Vlastos claims that Socratic irony is distinctive and complex. According to Vlastos, Socratic irony involves no hint of deception; it consists simply in saying something which wh…
